  February 26th, 2008
  ArtCalendar.com named HCAD as #2 on the list of Great Towns for Working Artists.  Art Calendar is a well-connected and established entity that produces a magazine and website by the same name. This is an honor for the city of Evansville, and it clearly shows the potential we have.  The fact that this arts district showed well on a national stage bodes well for our home-grown artists as well as those looking to move and contribute to our community.  Please follow the link for more information.
